Breadth Thrust Indicator by Zweig (NYSE Data with Volume)
The Breadth Thrust Indicator, based on Zweig's methodology, is used to gauge the strength of market breadth and potential bullish signals. This indicator evaluates the breadth of the market by analyzing the ratio of advancing to declining stocks and their associated volumes.
Usage:
Smoothing Length: Adjusts the smoothing period for the combined ratio of breadth and volume.
Low Threshold: Defines the threshold below which the smoothed combined ratio should fall to consider a bullish signal.
High Threshold: Sets the upper threshold that the smoothed combined ratio must exceed to confirm a bullish Breadth Thrust signal.
Signal Interpretation:
Bullish Signal: A background color change to green indicates that the Breadth Thrust condition has been met. This occurs when the smoothed combined ratio crosses above the high threshold after being below the low threshold. This signal suggests strong market breadth and potential bullish momentum.
By using this indicator, traders can identify periods of strong market participation and potential upward price movement, helping them make informed trading decisions.
